WE HELP YOU
RUN FAR.
Hi – welcome to Marathon Handbook.
I’m Thomas, and I help people run far every day.
After conquering marathons and ultramarathons, I became a running coach to help others achieve their running goals!
Since starting Marathon Handbook in 2015, I’ve now written articles and designed training plans used by tens of thousands of runners, and developed a few courses along the way.
